02 Use a suitable flat blade to lever apart – 1743 viewsI use an old stainless steel kitchen knife, strong, slim and blunt ;)

03 Ring Cover released – 1729 viewsOnce you have taken a wing mirror apart you will find the ring cover comes off first. If it has not been dismantled before the main cover is more likely to come off first

07 Lever the microswitch holder clip down gently – 2042 viewsYou'll see the microswitch holder next to the mirror motor. You have to release the little clip to the outside of the holder just underneath it. I hope you can see my trusty kitchen knife in place levernig it down. The plastic is quite bendy, but be gentle with it.

08 Pull Microswitch holder back from mirror housing – 1678 viewsOnce you have the clip down pull the holder back towards you. It will either simply slide back or fight you. The microswitch is on two lugs so should easily come away from the holder, unless it is tightly bound on with spiders web !

10 Spiders inside microswitch holder! – 2085 viewsEvidence of arachnid encroachment in the microswitch area :)

11 Driver\'s side microswitch without control arm! – 1412 viewsOn the drivers side I found what I hope is my problem. The control arm had become trapped in the cam for the motor, and parted company with the microswitch. by moving the mirror housing about I was able to release the control arm, then I bent it back into a reasonable shape and refitted it to the micorswitch
